How loud should gears sound?
Ok, when I'm parked and I play with my manual shifter going from 1-2-3-4-5-6...should I be hearing thea gears actually setting in place? There's no grinding noise or anything. I just think the noise of metal moving within the transmission is loud. I don't really hear it when I'm actually driving, but I have noticed at times difficulty getting into 2nd gear. Should I be worried about my transmission fluid? Clutch fluid?
My clutch/brake fluid in the reservoir is at max. My car is only 1500 miles old, 2006 model. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm probably going to move this to a more appropriate forum, btw.

I'm pretty sure, how bad I don't know. I first heard about this when a mechanic claimed that they had to change synchros on a brand new car just because it was on display at autoshows. So take what I said with a grain of salt.

don't play with my stick!?
oops. I was playing with a Mazdaspeed 3's clutch at this one dealer. The car was already purchased, but the dealer had it for display for a few days before the guy who bought it was suppose to pick it up. Oooops, i hope i didn't mess his synchros. hehehe the name of the dealer will remain anonymous, just incase he's reading these boards.
